Malaysia Commercial Real Estate Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
Market Report I 2023-01-23 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Malaysia Commercial Real Estate Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of more than 8% over the forecast period. The significant demand from the industrial segment drives the market. Furthermore, the market is driven by the need for healthcare real estate in many regions as the market is recovering.
Key Highlights
As per industry experts, in the first half of 2022 (H1 22), across property market performance in the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Baru, Johor, and Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, the industrial real estate sector continued to grow in comparison to the retail industry. The industrial sector had consistent growth over the past few years due to rising e-commerce penetration rates. The rise in long-distance shipping increased the need for warehouse space and a structural change toward omnichannel retailing. There is strong interest in selling or buying existing commercial assets (land or buildings) in Sabah, Johor, and Klang Valley, whether to take advantage of bargains for high-quality assets or to implement a portfolio rationalization exercise. The Logistics and Industrial sub-sectors remain the real estate industry's new darlings. As people exit pandemic management after two years, there is a clear interest in the Healthcare sub-sector becoming an alternative investment to watch.
According to Industry experts, the real estate market in Malaysia is slowly improving as buyers are still dealing with the repercussions of COVID-19. According to the company's most recent research on the Malaysian real estate market, the Landed Property Sale Price Index increased by 1.1% quarter over quarter and 3.64% year over year in the second quarter (Q2) of 2022. It is accompanied by a 5.21% increase but a QoQ decline of 1.96% in the Landed Property Sale Demand Index. Even though potential purchasers are discouraged by affordability and financial instability challenges, the group claimed that the pattern showed that landed properties are still the preferred purchasing option. It has led to slower demand for homes.
Year-on-year (y-o-y), Malaysia's volume of property transactions registered a 1.78% marginal drop in the first nine months of 2021 to clock in at 201,068 transactions. But the transaction value rebounded by nearly 14% to nearly MYR 98 billion (USD 22.10 billion) or up to about MYR 11.2 billion (USD 2.53 billion) in 2020. Investments into the Office, Retail, Hotel / Leisure, Industrial, and Logistics sub-sectors are expected to increase in 2022-23. Developers have increased their investment across the board in all sub-sectors, indicating an increase in activity in 2022-23 over the previous two years. Managers of mutual funds and real estate investment trusts have increased their exposure to industrial and hospitality assets, with a roughly equal distribution in the other sub-sectors. Lenders have reduced their exposure in almost all sub-sectors except the Office sub-sector.
Malaysia Commercial Real Estate Market Trends
Rise in growth in retail sector
Post-pandemic structural trends in the country's commercial real estate (CRE) market are likely to exacerbate already-existing imbalances. It is because vacancy and rental rates of office and retail spaces have gotten worse since the pandemic outbreak and may take longer to get better due to the structural changes seen. In Malaysia's real estate market, the value of the massive transactions grew 61% QoQ (MYR 1.13 billion (USD 0.25 billion): Q4/2021) to over MYR 1.82 billion (USD 0.48 billion).
According to Savills, the most significant transaction occurred in Kuala Lumpur, when Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd paid MYR 868 million (USD 195.83 million) to acquire a vacant 15.3-acre commercial site on Jalan Duta from TTDI KL Metropolis Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd). It is to construct a mixed-use development with a projected gross development value of MYR 8.7 billion (USD 1.96 billion).
In 2021, the value of construction work grew by -5.0% to MYR 112.0 billion (USD 25.27 billion) compared to MYR 117.9 billion (USD 26.6 billion) in 2020. Budget 2022 announced that the government would invest MYR 2 billion (USD 0.45 billion) in guarantees to banks via the Guaranteed Credit Housing Scheme. It is aimed at assisting those in the gig economy, people with funds to pay for loans but who cannot produce an income statement because they do not earn in the traditional sense.
Increase in government spending in private sector
In its 2021 budget, the Malaysian government announced a Protection of People and Recovery of the Economy (PEMULIH) aid package to support construction businesses that may benefit private companies. It includes the allowance of price changes or Variation of Price (VoP) for government projects. It follows a significant increase in the cost of building materials and assistance for local G1-G4 contractors to carry out small-scale government projects by conducting lottery and tendering processes. It also enables the use of new civil engineering and building and electrical work rate schedules and the allowance of Extension of Time (EoT) or extension of contract on government projects for supply and service contracts affected by the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) subject to a contract clause.
The private sector continued to propel the construction activity with a 58.7% share of the value of construction work done MYR 16.2 billion (USD 3.87 billion) as compared to the public sector with a 41.3% share of the value of construction work done MYR 11.4 billion (USD 2.72 billion). The value of construction work done in Residential buildings and Non-residential buildings subsectors remained significant in the project owned by the private sector, which contributed 37.9% and 37.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the project owned by the public sector remained underpinned by the Civil engineering subsector with a share of 69.4%.
